RE: Black Belt + Gold Belt = Menē 24k
Wow, a new interesting personal fact about @goldmatters! What martial art were you practicing? Black belt is, indeed, an impressive achievement.
I guess, for me the equivalent of the Black belt achievement on Steem would be a combined function of length of time on the platform, the number of posts made (and that’s including comments), whether still active or not, and the current SteemPower. It wouldn’t be enough, if only one of those factors were considered. I can easily imagine:
- a rich investor,
- an early adopter who long since abandoned the platform,
- a spammer
…all excelling at just one or two of those indicators. But all of them, taken holistically, would tell us a story of discipline, long-term-oriented effort, dedication and perseverance. In other words – all the things that the martial arts Black belt represents.
Thank you for your thoughts! I don’t train anymore but it was : https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shōrin-ryū. Great well thought out answer to the Steemit black belt question!
I heard about Shōrin-ryū, when I was studying in Japan. Anything Japanese automatically gains my approval and respect. :)) Thank you for the upvote! Arigatō gozaimasu, sensei!
